"Gonna Fly Now"

Acrylic on canvas: 32 x 16 inches

As an artist I push myself to do the best paintings that I am capable of, but it's hard for me sometimes to overcome feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy that I have.  To me Rocky is a symbol of believing in yourself and living up to your full potential.  This painting is a reminder to me to be proud, and to always do the best I can.  Also, I've been reading "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron.  It's a great motivational self-help book for artists, or anyone feeling like they are creatively blocked.
